Hello. I just purchased a 1985 ATC110 from a friend who had it sitting in his barn. God condition and plastics are mostly intact. I got it running in about 15 minutes, gotta love a Honda. Had an interesting experience though....juts to throw it out there. Runs fine, cools down, then a nostart condition, barely idles. New and correct plug is fouled.....weird. Valves are adjusted a little loose, but fine for just running around and figuring out what other issues it might have. Here's the catch-I turned the headlight on on the ride after warmup, cool down, then the no start condition. Traced out the headlight and taillights after we thought the bike had a grounding issue due to a bare or broken wire. The tailight was shorting the bike out and fouling the plug! Just food for thought if anyone is having the same issue. After disconnecting the tailight and replacing plug, the little thing runs like a sewing machine, ( literally, due to the valve chatter!!, but we will fix that later). I know this is the wrong forum for this explanation, but it was frustrating and it may help someone else get their bike back on the trail.
Also, I'm looking for a download manual for this bike, the sites embedded in your section are not working? or poss it's just I'm screwing up the download.
Anyway, your site does have a lot of valuable info, and helped me get this thing running, my kids thank you.
